FACTS:
- assume C with little free space
- open 7-Zip and set working directory to "CURRENT"
- close and re-open 7-Zip (to ensure settings saved)
ISSUE:
- want to extract file in D:\temp to D:\temp, where C: does not have enough free space to hold extracted file
(but resolving issue would also save an unnecessary copy after extract)
TEST:
1. Extraction of file by right-click-and-drag
- creates temp file in D:\temp (WORKS)
2. Extraction of file by opening archive and using "EXTRACT" button to "D:\temp"
- creates temp file in D:\temp (WORKS)
*3. Extraction of file by opening archive and dragging file out of 7-Zip Window and into D:\temp window
- creates temp file in C:\DOCUMENTS...<currentuser>\TEMP
- will fail because no space
This iritating bug still exists!
7zip uses system's default temp directory when extracting files using drag'n'drop method. Button 'Extract' works well, though.
